Exact specifications and features
The FSSP officer's dirk is made of 65x13 steel, a domestic chromium alloy that is traditionally used in the manufacture of knives and service cutlasses. The length of the blade is 205 mm with a thickness of 3.5 mm and a width of 15 mm, which forms an elegant, elongated profile. The blade itself has the shape of a classic dirk: a double-edged design with a clear central edge and symmetrical geometry. The hardness of the blade is 25 HRC, a relatively low indicator due to the specific purpose of the product and the historical prototype: such dirks are designed primarily for ceremonial purposes, not for heavy work.
The handle is of medium length — 102 mm, made of traditional materials with an emphasis on aesthetics. The color and details of the material are not specified, however, castings, wood, plastic or composite materials are most often used in such cutlasses, providing a presentable appearance and a basic level of ergonomics. The set includes a sheath made of plastic and brass, which emphasizes the official, presentation status of the product.
Advantages and unique properties
- Official status and historical heritage: The dirk is a symbol of public service, traditionally used for ceremonial wear and ceremonial purposes. This knife perfectly complements the uniform, emphasizing the status and belonging to the FSSP.
- Steel 65x13: Due to its chromium content, it has a basic corrosion resistance, tolerates storage in a sheath and minimal contact with moisture. This steel is easy to sharpen without requiring special tools.
Important clarification:The hardness of 25 HRC is lower than that of most working knives, which implies a relatively soft metal structure and low wear resistance. - Ease of maintenance:Due to its low hardness, the blade can be easily adjusted if necessary, and does not require labor during maintenance. Dirt is easily removed, and care is limited to wiping and storing in a dry place.
- Ergonomics: The dirk provides a secure hold in the hand when used for ceremonial purposes and worn on a uniform. At the same time, its design is not designed for heavy household or tourist tasks.
Limitations and areas for which the dirk is not suitable
- Low hardness (25 HRC): The dirk is strictly not intended for cutting hard materials, chopping, woodwork, hunting or hiking tasks. It is easily blunt and can deform under high load.
- Double-edged form: It should not be used for kitchen, household or household purposes. This geometry is designed for pricking, not cutting.
- Limited corrosion resistance: Despite some protection from moisture, storage in humid conditions or prolonged contact with an aggressive environment will cause stains.
Care recommendations
It is recommended to keep the dirk in its sheath, avoid contact with moisture, and wipe the blade and hilt with a soft cloth after parades or events. Do not use it for household needs or self-defense. If sharpening is necessary, use the simplest non—grinding tools, since the metal is easy to edit. To maintain the external gloss, the use of neutral polishes is acceptable.
Conclusion and recommendations
The FSSP officer's dirk is primarily a ceremonial and collector's item with historical and symbolic significance. It is ideal for official events, awards, collectors, employees and veterans of the service. It is not recommended for practical applications, camping trips, hunting, fishing or any tasks where high strength, wear resistance and cutting qualities are required. This knife is the choice for those who appreciate the tradition, status and aesthetics of state symbols.
